Israeli army takes Gazan doctor at a hospital, tortured him, then brought him a tablet showing a livestream of his home, called in a strike that killed his six-month-pregnant wife, and made him watch until the rescue crew pulled her body from the rubble

I think they said you should start at the 17 minute mark
Following Miz's advice, start at the 20 minute mark
Genuinely an unfathomable level of evil what the fuck
This is too true; I genuinely can't imagine what's going through their head that they would do something like this. I've heard a handful of stories coming out of that prison, and it's impossible to put yourself in the headspace of that kind of evil. Settler colonist mentality is monstrous, and literally unfathomable to the average person. The only other place I read of with people like this were literal nazis; I recall something Philip K Dick once mentioned of something he'd read in a nazi's diary: that the nazis in the diary were upset that they were being kept awake at night by the cries of starving Jewish children. I'm also reminded of a former nazi who was secretly interviewed who'd been serving as a mercenary in Africa who was gleefully recounting the evil they'd been committing.
I don't understand these people, I genuinely can't imagine seeing people the way they do.
I read about the Einsatzgruppen - first wave mass-murder squads that the nazis deployed as they pushed east & west, often rounding up anyone deemed undesirable in any village they came across and shooting them in a field.
This system of serial extermination was found to be inefficient, due to the fact that the goons doing it were getting traumatised by having to personally execute thousands of people. It's part of what led to the gas chambers - a method of killing removed enough from personal involvement that nobody feels (as much) guilt.
Impersonal, remote airstrikes - especially via drones - are a normalised modern day incarnation of the same idea.
Even if I were evil, I wouldn’t be this fucking evil.
When I imagine being evil, I don’t fucking come close to this.
The depravity.
